Boyle Heights Eviction Risk: High
8 census tracts · pop 29,797 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 9.8/10 · range 9.3–9.9
Boyle Heights takes in 8 census tracts of Los Angeles, CA and houses 29,797 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 9.8/10, in the High tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Los Angeles rate of 35.0%.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 10/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 9.5/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. This is a renter market: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Food insecurity affects 37.3% of adults, 19.5 points above the national rate. SNAP participation is 32.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
At $1,472 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Los Angeles commands. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. That places it #42 of 161 neighborhoods in Los Angeles.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 8 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $60,937.
With little internal variation, 9.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
